Any traditional shavers here?

I've always used Norelcos and have always had great luck with them.  I don't know the model number of my current one since I threw the owner's manual away long ago and the model number was marked on the side.  Unfortunately, they painted the model number on where the user holds it, and it has since been worn off.

On the occasions that I do shave, I'll use my Lady Remington electric razor on my legs. It's not as close as a disposable razor, but that isn't my priority. If I'm in a bind, I'll use a disposable.

I always use a disposable blade for my armpits, though.

I'm reverse - I got a non-electric one once and tried using it (with shaving cream) - either I just fail or the blade sucked because no matter how hard I pressed I got very little hair off. Plus it felt so much more rough than electrics, feeling like sandpaper was being scraped across my face.

If you ever try it again, try shaving immediately after getting out of the shower. Something about the steam opening up your pores makes it a lot smoother and more effective.

Anybody ever used the "battery operated" cartridge razors

The preparation of your beard before a shave is important. The most common and easy way is to take a hot shower to rinse your beard. Let the hot water soak and soften the whiskers for at least six minutes. One could also use a hair conditioner product for the beard, which would help remove unwanted oils and dirt from the face.
